Searching In All The Right Places

We live in the information age and the Internet is the information place. You can search to find a friend, a phone number, a web address, a street address, or a new dress. You can find a new car, an old car, or tire for your car. There are many different search engines online. Some are household words and others are not very well known. A few of the most commonly used are Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, Dogpile, AltaVista, Lycos, Live Search and WebCrawler.



My preference is Google. You should try out more than one and go with the one you like. My sons call me to look up show times for movies, addresses of customers, phone numbers of business, and their bank statements.

I recently heard about a student who ran his searches at YouTube when he wanted information.

There are online encyclopedias (Wikipedia, Encarta, Britannica etc.)

You can search for something you need to know or you can search out of curiosity. Most things can be found and accessed through the use of a search engine. Don't be afraid to fill in the search box and seek to be enlightened.
